Reason 4,357 why Jerry Jones is an Awful Jackass...

The Tennessee Titans felt they exposed a major flaw in Cowboys Stadium during the first football game played in the building when reserve punter A.J. Trapasso hit the gigantic HD screen that hangs over the field.

Whoops! I guess Big Jer wasn't thinking about, you know, playing football inside his shiny, new toy but instead watching re-runs of 4th and Long on the massive 160-foot long, 90-foot high video board.

To continue his infinite wisdom, Mr. Jones was quoted as saying that a punter would need to kick the ball "straight up and hard" to hit the board... Anyone else see fault in this argument or do we just not understand the art of punting as part of the regular course of a football game?

Either way this will become one of the subtle nuances of stadiums around the league. Much like attempting to kick a field goal into the open end of Heinz Field in December some things just come down to stadium design. The only difference being the Rooney's can't really raise the non-walled end of the stadium to block the wind coming down the Mon and Allegheny, but Big Jer may be able to fix this... somehow.

The same reason all great men get together: to bitch about politics, sports, our city and life in general. We have jobs that don't pay us enough, women who cause us great issues and above all else... you can only rent beer.

If you haven't figuredout that they are a cheap and easy way to regurgitate stufffound throughout the vast expanses of the internet and thatmost of them (including this one) are in no way associated withany official government, organization or sports team, thenyou're a dumbass.

But if any of the said internettery found on this blog is yourown personal property, and you are super pissed at us forputting it up for our five viewers to see, shoot us an e-mail attherustbelttramp@gmail.com and ask us to take itdown/challenge us to a punch fight.Thanks!
